Minnesota Alliance Denounces the Inlqult- one War Tax-11f. A St. Paul deepeich of Thursday says : The Fermere' Alliance and United Labor Party Convention reassembled to-dny. A platform was adopted,whioh demands thus the “ War tariff “ be radically revised ; de- nounces the McKinley bill as " the crown- ing infamy of protection "; demands Gov- ernment control of railways, that discrimination may cease, reasonable rates be established, watered etook not receive the reward of honest capital. and pooling of rates be absolutely prohibited. For pro- ducers it demands free and open markets tor grain, and proper facilities for trans- ortetion, etc. It holds that mortgage indebtedness should be deduoled from the ta; on realty ; demand: lower interest, an increase in the volume of money, and free coinage of silver ; asks for the Anatrslisn ballot system; holds that United States Senators and railway commissioners should be elected by ballot; and, finally. considers that recent Supreme Court decisions are fraught with danger to our loan of government. Fatal Collision on the Detroit Riverâ€"The Stem-in: Gear Wrong. A Thursday’s Detroit despatoh says; This evening, as the steamer City of De- troit with three excursion parties aboard came within the city limits, her steam steering apparatus gave out unaccountany and he sheered about, and ran into the steam barge Kesota, owned in Cleveland, cutting her completely in two aminships. The Kesota’s cargo was iron ore, end it slid into the river, holding the severed parts under water, leaving the bow and stern above water, with the City of Detroit directly over her. Captain Fiek and a crew of seventeen were rescued by row boats and yachts. The aged mother of the steward, name unknown, was drowned. ’I‘he captain’s wife was saved by a seamen diving after her as she was sinking. Judge Biichols, of Batavia, Ohio, an excursionist on the City 0! Detroit, was severely injured by the breaking of some shrouds, and his son and three or {our other passengers were slightly hurt. All except the judge are able to continue their trip. The damage to the City _of Detroit is $20,000, and she will be on the dry (lock for three weeks. The Kesota was valued at $12,000, and is a total wreck. “ Let me kill him 1" yelled the infuriated husband ; but Mrs. Schier held him while Hallet, halt-dressed, escape?» Schiely at. tempted to kill his wife, but she escaped.

He has Isecured nll the magnificent jewelry, valued at $20,000, which he had given her, end begun divorce proceedings. Mrs. Behiely, who is a beauty. and Wise acknow- ledged to be the most richly dressed woman in Cincinnati, has relatives at Uticn and Biohfield Springs, New York, and in Chicago. A Wronged Husband. a lecherous Drum- mer and a Faithless Wife. A Cincinnati despntoh of Thursday says: The biggest sensation known in social circles here for years occurred yesterday, when it became known that John M. Bohiely, one of the leading Knights of Pythiaa of the State, had found his wife unfaithful. He has suspected her for a short time, refusing to doubt her, though her conduct has caused much gossip. The Schieley'e, who are rich, live in a magnifi- cent home on Park avenue, one of the most exclusive quarters of the city. Schier came home Budfienly from an outing and found T. H. Ballet, a handsome drummer, in his wife’s room. Both were in neglige attire. 'But the resolution was so changed in other important particulars that the repre- sentatives oi the Detroit elevator men, who are interested in having the existing status changed, as they claimed that the Canadian railroads by their elevators have destroyed their business, say that one-half of the in- formation that was desired is not asked for. One portion of the resolution that was struck out related to the method of importations in bond. It was this busi- uses that the Michigan elevator men de- sired to have inquired into, and their representatives at the Capitol to-day say that the amendment to the resolution so mutilates it that it might as well have been wholly drafted by the attorneys of the Canadian railroads, who are constantly about the Capitol. Beating a Trust. A Chicago despntch says ; A statement was published some weeks ago that a trust hm! been tormggl on _the Gem'ng writer- melon crop. The melons were shipped to accredited agents in all the Northern cities to be sold at wholesale by auction. The plan did not suit the ideas 01 the local dealers here, and they quietly formed a. counter combination. Accordingly when the first Georgia. melons were put up for sale there was only one bidâ€"a wickedly low oneâ€"for the whole lot, and the melons had to go at that. Then the purchaser divided up the shipment with his fellow- oonspirators, and they charged full prices to the small dealers and the public, thereby making immense profits. ‘The plan was adopted elsewhere, with the result of smash- ng the melon trust. Mr. Oullom denied this. and insisted that he had no particular milroed in mind. In order to make sure of this, Mr. Waahburn pro used an amendment which should in 0111 e the Grand Trunk in the scope of the inquiry: and that amendment was adopted by_M_r.>(_3ullom._ ._ A Chicago despatch says: For some weeks the breweries in this and adjoining cities have been engaged in a. war among themselves, and the price of beer by the barrel has been out in two in the micidle. At a meeting of the brewers last night an agreement was iormulated for the final settlement of the war. fir. Waehbnrn, of Minnesota, who was formerly connected with the “ Soo " road, has claimed from the time that this resolu- tion was introduced that it was aimed at the Canadian Pacific, and that it was in- tended as a drive at that railroad. Questions Afi'ecting Them Come Up in the U. S. Senate. A Washington deepatoh at Wagnesday says: The resolution of Mr. Cullom rela- tive to the Cannflian railroads was adopted this morning after it had been amended in inflortgt pgrtioulurs. '\ Gen. von Moltke, in a letter to a friend, ssys: "Ihave never said beer was Ger- msny’s greatest enemy. I am myself an abstainer, but I regard complete nbstinence as neither desirable nor practicable. I wish we could brews. good, light and cheaper bear tor the people.

BARGE GUI‘ IN TWO. “ LET ME KILL HIM l" The Price of Beer. Seventeen Men Frightfully Burned by the Explosion of a Furnace. ANew York despstch says: Saturday afternoon, while the employees of Cassidy & Adler’s iron foundry, on West 55th street. were standing about a smelting furnace, which contained sbout six tons of iron, some of which was being run off into moulds, the oupola exploded, and seventeen men were more or less burned by the molten metal. Peter Scallon, the foreman, was probably fatally burned. The liquid metal covered his entire body so that recognition was barely possible. Edwsrd MoNslly and Fred. Rosenken were also terribly burned about their bodies, but may pull through. The rest were able to go home after treatment. The explosion was caused,it is said, by the neglect of some workingmen, who are assigned to that task, to keep stirring the molten iron while it was being strained into the moulds. The gases that generated in the molten iron caused the explosion. A Washington despatoh of Tuesday says : Senator Oullom is very much in earnest in the matter of the Canadian railroads. His former resolution calling upon the Secre- tary oi the Treasury for information as to the methods of importation of grain from Canada has not yet been adopted by the Senate, owing to the opposition of Senator Wushburn, at Minnesota, who is said to be interested in the “ See" road. But to-day Mr. Onllom introfluced another resolution, which goes over under the rule tor one day, calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury for information as to the practices which have grown up in connection with all im- portations from Canada in bond, with special reference of the regulations which have been adopted for the safety of the revenue. Mr. Cullom is of the opinion that under the present bonded system there are great opportunities for fraud. A despatch from Cheboygan, Mich, steteslhat the Canadian propeller Cuba, bound down with grain, stranded on Grey’s Reef at 4 o'clock on Sunday morning in a fog, and is full of Water. The captain went to Oheboygan for help and em loyed the tug Favorite, which left with a all wreck- ing outfit. A part of the cargo is being pumped overboard, and it is expected that the vessel will be released on Wednesday morning. The Cuba. has a full list of pas- sengers and about 20,000 bushels of corn, bound from Chicago to Montreal. The passengers are safe but have had their trip cut short by this mishap. They have been forwarded to their destination by other boats and rail. The steamer belongs to the Chicago and Montreal Transportation Company, of Toronto. which has hitherto been lucky with its boats. ‘Ihe cargo is fully insured. The owners here state that the despatoh is true. During the night a severe electric storm prevailed. In addition the rain fell in tor- rents. The atmosphere about midnight became remarkably still, yet dense. It was difl‘icnlt for one to breathe. Egyptian ‘ darkness prevailed, dispelled only by a vivid flash of lightning at the above hour, when, without warning, a large Qunnel- shaped cloud descended from the heavens like an arrow, with an accompanying roar that terrified the entire city. The cloud struck the ground about 800 feet from the Burlington depot, and in a moment two business blocks, a grocery store and a feed store and three residences were torn to pieces as if made of paper. The timbers were carried up into the air and lost sight of. The cloud, after travelling about 300 feet on the ground, rose into the air, only to alight again within a block’sdistanoe. It struck the second time a trifle to the west of the Burlington depot, and in a twinkling a passenger coach belonging to the Chicago, Burlington dz Quincy Railroad was hurled into a ditch and badly damaged. A con- ductor in the employ of the company, who was sleeping in the coach, was terribly bruised and out and may die. After wreck- ing the coach the cloud flew upward and vanished. Fortunately none of the build- ings that were destroyed were occupied at the time. A St. Joseph, Mioh., despateh says The two yachts which were lost in Men- day‘s storm are the Sable and logo. They left this place for Chicago on Monday morning, having on board James and Joseph Beuupee, of Chiongo. and their cousins, John and Abraham Dururehe, of Muskegon, Mich. _ Capt. Stein, 0]! the steamer Puritan, deseried the two boats on Wednesday evening in the lake, about thirty miles from this shore. The two boats were tied together, one upside down, the other lying on her side. The Puritan was soon brought alongside. No bodies were seen lashed to the wreck. Undoubt- edly all the men were thrown out and left to fill watery graves. Both yachts left Chicago about two weeks ago to make a tour of the lakes. Lights Down on an Iowa Town, Canslng Much Damage. A Council Bluffs, 1a., despstoh says : A special from Pacific J unotion, sixteen miles south of here, gives news of a. cyclone which attack that place at 2.15 o’clock this morning, wrecking two business blocks and several residences, and overturning a. pas seggereoaeh. Five Drowned in ‘a Yachting Accident A Ution, N.Y., deepeteh says: The steamer St. Lawrence collided with the pleasure yacht Cabberine in the St. Lew- renee river, near Alexandrin Bay Thurs- day night. Of a. party of 12 on the yacht five were drowned. They were Edward Pemberton, Mrs. Edward Pemberton. Mrs. W. 1). Hart, Miss Margaret Henry, and Engineer John Seneeoal. They were all from Bradford, Pm, except Seneacel, and are people well known in social circles there. A last night's cable says: A great fire is raging in the Stem- boul quarter of Constantinople. The oonflagration began in a timber yard. and the flames, fanned bye strong wind, spread rapidly to the adioining property. Fully 1,000 houses and shops have been destroyed. It has been officially estimated that no fewer than 170,000 wolves are roaming at large in Russia. and that the inhabitants of the Vologda last year killed no fewer thnnr42_000, and of the Oassn district 21,000.

J., fiespatoh Boys: Be- tween 1,200 and 2,000 iron workers this morning refused to go to work in the New Jersey Steel and Iron Mills, which are owned by ex-Mayot Abraham 8. Hewitt, of New York city, because of the refusal of the firm to sign the Amalgamated Iron Workere' Association scale of wgges, and 12.500er fa“ labor organization. Mr. Hewitt is in ill‘heelth and travelling in Europe, and there is no one here who can authoritatively sign the scale naked by the men. The Knights and the Amalgamated Association have secretly organized the works, which have been non-union for years. The firm is stacked with orders, and has been running any and night. It is amid the firm will not sign the scale. A Great Will Case. A Rochester despatch says : The will of Gen. Lester B. Faulkner, dated in 1876, by which he left all his property to Mrs. Frances Brown and her sons, the probate of which has been opposed by the widow of the testator, was refused probate by Burro- gate Nash, of Livingstou'oounty, on Mon- day, July 14th, on the ground that it had bsen subsequently revoked by Gen. Faulk- ner. Dr. Bacon, who was Gen. Faulkner's attending physician during his last illness, and Comfort Allen both testified to the re- vocation of the will of 1876 by Gen. Faulk- ner as few days before his death. No new will could be produced, but on the evidence the surrogate refused probate. Simooo............ Owen Sound Bxantford......

Though I have used my utmost endeavor to avail myself of the “ equal rights ” so boasting] mentioned by the “ friends of the negro " in t 9 North, I am de- barred from the workshops, from the counting- rooms, from official positions, or from any occupationlmay seek, except that which re- quires me to wear the white apron badge of cook, or waiter, or as a bod-carrier. I must seek only the positions least remunerative if not the most menial. When I pass alongLombard street, Philadelphia, I find that prejudice a ainst them has crowded the negroes together 1‘ e hogs in a pen, and I venture to assert that there is not a spot south of Mason and Dixon’s line where the negro is in so much misery. or faces such squalid poverty, as the poor denizens of Lom- bard street and the other miserable quarters in which he has been compelled on account of his , color to reside in the “good City of Brotherly Love." It would be wise to let a little of the sympathy that arises from the love of the brother in black to begin here at home. The South has done, and is still doing, more for the negro than many suppose. Negroes have been sent from the South to the United States Senate, to the lower House of Congress, _to the State Legislature, and they have held minor positions. butIhave yet to hear of a "black Congress- man ” from the Republican Northâ€"a single negro that has ever been considered good enough to hold the position of postmaster or any other position that requires an ounce of brain-work. It is well enough to live in the North and talk of he re domination in the South, but where is the orthern, town, county. city or State that will swallow the same medi- cine? The Northern negro is not born a slave, but he is just as effectually shut out from the advantages of humanity as though the chains were forged upon him. He can never be any- thing at the North but a " nigger" still, and the maudlin sympathy so freely expressed for the “rights of the nearo" down south can be better extended in the North. Ottawa...

Areporter who has been investigating the Newfoundland trouble on the spot writes as follows: " The colonial fisher- ‘ men are a lot of big. strong, good-natured ‘fellowa, inured to every sort oi privaticn and hardship. They are two nationalities -â€"Englishmen from the west country, and Irishmen from the south of Ireland. The present generation of them is native-born. Immigration ceased fifty years ago. The families ol‘. the greater part have been in Newfoundland for more than a century, and have never moved from the granite cliff, or the sheltered (ove, where their forefathers first made a home. A braver people could not be found, but their sim- plicity, utter lack of ambition and their long continued wedlock with poverty have taught them to suffer the extremes of mis- fortune with patience. The evils of which they complain today have existed for filty years, but it is only within the last six months {that they have begun to use tin“ language of menace. Now they speak up frankly. They have gradually acquired a knowledge 01 what the old treaties contain, how they came to be made and what the interpreta- tions are which the contending politicians put upon them, and they do not hesitate to say that they will endure them no longer. One of the fishermen. an intelligent old chap, with a frame of iron and a face as gentle as that of the great black dog which lay on the ‘ flake' beside him, put the ease in this way: ‘ It were all well enough, sir, in them days begones before me an' me fourteen ehilder was horned at all. for thim two onld kings to pitch up their quarrels by slicin' up Nu on' betwixt 'em.

An English Doctor Says so, and Would Establish Hospitals to Cure Inebriates. Why do ome men and women become drunkards while the majority of their oom- peers. though also non-abstainers, do not ? asks Dr. Norman Kerr in Short Cuts. No one starts with the design of graduating in drunkenness, but a minority fail in their efforts at moderation. Many of the failures were conspicuous for their talents, their ac- complishments, their energy, their unself- ishness and the nobility of their aspira- tions. In their non-alcoholic intervals not a few inebriates are men and women of re- finement and culture, temperance advocates, and Christian workers. The only possibly philosophical and scientific reply is that some individuals have, from whatever con- ditions, either a tendency to inebriate ex- cess, or a defective power of control and re- sistance. Environment, such as tempta- ‘ tions arising out of social custom or a profusion of places where liquor can be obtained, also contributes to the develop- ment of the drunken manifestations. A bout of intoxication is no more the disease of inebriety than is an act of violence the disease of insanity. I have ventured to define inebrietv as a disease of the nervous system, allied to insanity, characterized by a very strong impulse to, or crave for, intoxication. It is not a dipso (thirst) mania. Many inebriates are never thirsty unless their “ ooppers are hot" after a debaueh, and others hate the liquor, which they cannot abstain from. lnebriety is really a “tipsy mania," or, as I have pro- posed to designate it, a torpor naroo-mania â€"-a madness for intoxication by alcohol or opium or any other intoxicant. This malady may be constant, periodical or accidental. In the accidental form therehis no symptom of confirmed disease. The in- dividual never transgresses, except on some extraordinary occasion, such as a wedding or a funeral or a parliamentary election. In the excitement and joviality of the moment the spirits are too absorbed and buoyant to allow him to think of how much he has taken; and, without the slightest idea of anything of the kind, he simply glides, un- knowingly and quite by accident, into ex- cess, manifest to others at the time, but not discernible by himself till next morning. “Once bit, twice shy." and very often he is i never caught a second time. The periodical . inebriate, though between whiles as sober as a judge, is the subject of morbid physi- cal disorder, which may recur either at stated or irregular intervals. Inebriety is a disease. Let us treat it as we would any other disease. Iuebriates are laboring un- der this disease. Let us treat them as sick persons. Let us establish hospitals for the treatment of the. poorest victims of this due and fatal disease. Let us enact meas- ures for the compulsory reception and detention for curative purposes of all in- ebriates, whatever their worldly circum- stances, whose will-power has been so broken down by drink that they are unable mmmeedom.

Toronto has had its summer carnival. It was no: a success, in fact, it was a positive failure. We have no sympathy with the promoters. Toronto has a good thing in its Industrial Exhibition and it had no light to hold a carnival. It was simply copying Hamilton. Some Toronto people were a little jealous of the great success of Hamil- ton's meeting last year. The promoters of Hamilton’s carnival had an object in view. They wanted a gathering of business men and the carnival was chiefly a means of entertaining them. It was a plucky thing for the Hamilton people to do but their car- nival was a big success and everybody Went away thoroughly satisfied with it. The Toronto people had not the grit nor the go about them that the Hamilton people had. It wa pointed out to them that a Merchants’ Convention would make their carnival a success, but the Toronto people are too much given to fakes and their carnival was one of the biggest takes of the age. A car- nival every year for Hamilton may perhaps be more than she could be expected to undertake. Why not run a gigantic fair there, say every fourth year, during the time of the Merohants' Convention, and in other years let the carnival and convention be held in succession at London, Kingston and Ottawa ?â€"â€"1‘oronto Canadian Grocer.

Russia has purchased from the Baron ol Stackelberg, for 1,000,000 francs, Worms Island, in the Baltic. It costs the English Government $2,962,- 000 annually to support Queen Victoria and her immeainte family. Whenever the Queen visits Balmornl Castle it takes $5.000 to defray the railroad expenses of the journey. In South Africa the proportion is re- versed; 500.000 Europeans live in the midst of 3,000,000 black folk, who are backed up byngreat reservoir of barbs:- ism, from which reinforcements in the shape of laborers are constantly being pushed down to the south to share the means of subsistence with the black, white and brown {acesslreudy on the soil.

How Is He to Maintain the Mastery in Tropical Countries? South Africa is the only country where, in a temperate climate and under climatic conditions admirably suited to both, the European and the negro are engaged in a. struggle for mastery and for occupation of the land, not by force of arms, but by the silent process of natural selection, which, if it does its work in less noise, is far more efl'ectusl. The conflict is going on, and civilization or barbarism depend on the result, which is not quite so certain as those who belong to the superior race could wish it to be.
